Sorry if I am asking the blindingly obvious (won't be the first or last time) but is there any way to go to a certain page in a forum other than clicking 'next'? I've been catching up on stuff that I've missed being away and wanted to go back to the middle of a thread but couldn't see a way to get to page 40 (for example) without going through all of them again.

Changing that number manually in your browser's address window (and only that number) lets you travel across the thread back and forth.

If you put more than 30 you go up in numbers of page. And if I remember right, going 15 up moves you up the whole page of the thread. You can test it yourself.

So if you want to get to page 80 of the thread, your number at the end of address must be 80x15=1200 i think (or something in that neighborhood)

Maybe there are some other ways too, but I hope it helps for a start _________________"The piano keys

Yes! That worked in a thread! Thanks molossus. It's a good job I know my 15 times tables

Because direct access to page numbers on the bottom right is limited to just some of them._________________"The piano keys
